It should switch off on high temperature (without tripping anything) at lower than overheat trip setting. Sounds like the high temperature contacts are stuck together and the thermostat needs replacing.
It being? the immersion element or the thermostat?
The only time I used It is my first word. Obviously I mean the thermostat, that's where the switch contacts are, the element can't switch off by itself.
When I said "It should switch off on high temperature (without tripping anything)" I think it's clear I meant the high point, not the high-high trip point, (to use common terminology). I included (without tripping anything) to make it unambiguous.
You said "....as it heats the water until the thermostat overheat trips..." At best that is misleading, it suggests that in normal operation heating stops when an upset happens (overheat) and requires manual reset. This is not the case.
You should hear a "click" each time you turn the stat setting up&down, ie turn it right down to its minimum setting then keep turning it up slowly until you hear a click, then very slowly turn it back down until you hear another click, should be around 5C/8C differential, the click when turning it
